The FBI Has Your Fingerprints.. and Everyone Else’s
If you have ever commited a crime, you have to give your fingerprints to the police and they can access them anytime.
However, the FBI already has them.
Whether it’s a driver’s license, gun purchase or a new job contract, they all ask for your fingerprints. All of that data goes into FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. Right now, it’s believed that this database holds more than 100 million fingerprints!
The location of the information is in Clarksburg, West Virginia, near the FBI headquarters of Washington. Their software can perform a full fingerprint search in less than 12 minutes.
